This is a conventional serif with moderate stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that soften joins and terminals. Capitals are broad and evenly proportioned, with rounded bowls and gently tapered strokes that keep the texture open rather than dense. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—most notably the two‑storey g with a prominent ear and a modestly angled stress—paired with sturdy, slightly flared terminals. Figures are lining and fairly open, with smooth curves and restrained detailing that maintains a steady rhythm in running text.
It fits extended reading contexts such as book interiors, editorial layouts, and magazine or journal text where a familiar serif texture and dependable readability are desired. The sturdy caps and clean numerals also make it serviceable for headings, pull quotes, and basic data or folios when a traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a composed, bookish authority without feeling stiff. Subtle calligraphic cues add warmth, giving it an established, editorial voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose text serif: traditional in construction, readable at paragraph sizes, and refined through moderate contrast and bracketed serifs. Its oldstyle-leaning lowercase details suggest an aim for a warm, literary color rather than a sharp, high-contrast display feel.
Several forms include small, rounded or teardrop-like terminal finishes (visible in letters such as a, c, and e), which contribute to a slightly lively, traditional texture. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable, supporting clear word shapes at text sizes.
